I tried to update my installed build 386 to build 390.Upon program start I got the following message:---------------------------GreatNews---------------------------The database file needs to be upgradedto work with this version of GreatNews.

It won't be compatible with older versionsof GreatNews after this upgrade.

After cklicking [OK] i got:---------------------------GreatNews---------------------------Database update failed:ERROR[1]: no such column: bloglines_account---------------------------OK ---------------------------

I seem to be doing something horribly wrong, and it's intensely frustrating. I'd LOVE to update my GreatNews (I currently use 386), but no matter what browser I use to download the attachments, I always get errors. If I download a .zip attachment, I get the error "An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file." when I try to extract it. If I download a .7z file, I get the error "Can not open file "x" as archive."

This wouldn't be so frustrating if I weren't using current builds of 7-Zip, WinRAR, Firefox, and Chrome. So there's something weird going on here.

Since GreatNews seems to be dead since long of time ago, which explains why your download links are not working, the blog is down, home page is still referencing build 386, ...

I already posted on the blog a couple of years ago, updated builds on the latest source code, even with native x86 and x64 binaries, and some upgrades and tweaks on SQLite, but no official answer at all.

Even I created my own ToDo list:- Fix crash on exit with systray icon if updating feeds- Pack sources- Upgrade CPPSQlite from 3.1 to 3.2- Make Bloglines synchronization work again- Upgrade Loki from 0.1.6 to 0.1.7- Google Reader Syncrhonization- Ability to show only unread feeds on the news feeds treeview.- I like Feeddemon keyboard behaviour, that makes up and down arrows to move from previous feed to next one, if focus is in the treeview, move from one item to another if in the listview, or scroll up and down, if focus is in the previe...

Anyway, a couple of bugs I've noticed. One, for some reason, when I hover over a feed, it ALWAYS tells me "Update failed", even when it's just finished updating and downloaded new stories. Not critical, but annoying. Two, it puts a "_" character at the beginning of the title of every single story. Not sure where that's coming from.

Other than that, awesome! Loving the new build, if they're not going to continue the development, maybe you should post it on SourceForge or somewhere, get some awareness that GreatNews still exists. This is my favorite newsreader, hands down, and has been since I first found it back when it was still being actively developed. Thank you for your labor of love in keeping it going.

Unfortunatelly I do not have Visual C++ 2010 nor 2012 installed anymore, and GreatNews is not able to be built with Visual C++ 2013 nor 2014 RC, so I honestly doubt I could fix those issues, nor add new features.
